Stage Three Danger Zone:Disillusionment

This is when things get precarious for couples. The rose colored glasses come off and the flaws are glaring. You may find yourself irritable about things you once thought were cute. You may develop doubts, trust issues, or fears associated with your life together.

“For too many relationships, this is the beginning of the end. This is a period where things begin to feel bad. It can occur slowly or can feel like a switch is flipped and everything goes wrong. Little things begin to bother us. We feel less loved and cared for. We feel trapped and want to escape.”

But within this relationship crisis there is an opportunity to love more and more deeply. With superficial love cast away,  if you break through, you find a love that isn’t dependent upon someone being perfect, but loved perfectly.
